• Finding Faith While Wandering the Internet

SALT LAKE CITY -- It was just one video of many posted on Southeast Christian Church's Facebook page. A few members of the nondenominational evangelical Christian church in Salt Lake City made a video about their experiences in a financial seminar the church sponsored. Someone saw it on Facebook, stopped by the church to see if it would be offered again and ended up coming regularly: Virtual interaction became real contact. As more and more people use Facebook, it is only natural that churches might try to take advantage of its potential to connect with their members and with a broader audience. A report from LifeWay Research found that 47 percent of Protestant church congregations nationwide now use Facebook. But with this use comes questions about its appropriateness.

Meanwhile, Palestinian leaders were accusing Israel of "Judaizing" Jerusalem, and threatening to cancel their January 25 parliamentary elections over the issue of voting for East Jerusalem Arabs. [Ariel Sharon] was threatening to block them. TALKING (BUT NOT DOING MUCH ABOUT) JERUSALEM - The status of Jerusalem has long been a contentious issue. While it surfaces particularly during political election years, final status negotiations are far from even beginning. Until then, Jerusalem will continue to be a political football kicked around by Israelis, Arabs and Americans. American opposition is strongest among the very religious - 83 percent of Orthodox Jews oppose any compromise on Jerusalem, and one Evangelical Christian church has warned that dividing the city "would mean the end of I...

• Sanctuary Safety: Not Even Churches Are Off-Limits to Violence

Last Sunday, Kristy Ragsdale joined two young Colorado Springs women as the latest victims of violence at the place most Americans consider to be a sanctuary -- their church. Ragsdale's slaying in an LDS Church parking lot in Lehi differed from December shootings at an evangelical Christian church and missionary center in Colorado. Ragsdale's husband turned himself in after killing her just days after she filed for separation.

• Inside Haiti

It's Thursday, January 21, nine days after the earthquake hit about 15 miles away in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Survivors continue to arrive on flatbed trucks at the one-story public hospital, hoping for medical treatment unavailable back home in the capital city. Soon after the earthquake hit, Jimani became the back door route in and out of Haiti for thousands of people making their exodus, and thousands of others, including doctors, aid workers and journalists, trying to get inside the country. I was one of those trying to get in with a group of doctors, nurses and technicians from Cooper University Hospital in Camden, N.J. I got a call four days earlier from George Norcross, a board member of Cooper. "Susan," he said, "are you ready to fly south?" Norcross said planes weren't allowed to ...
